HAIR-CLIPPING- ATTACHMENT FOR VIBRATORS.

Application led February 5, 1919.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, ANDREW NILAND, a subject of the Government of Finland, residing at Bremerton, in the county of Kitsap and State of Washington, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Hair-Clipping Attachments for Vibrators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relatesto improvements in hair clipping attachment for vibrators and the object of my invention is to provide hair clippers of simple, strong and eiiicient construction that may be quickly and easily attached to an electric vibrator of a type commonly used in barber shops, the clippers being adaptedf to be driven by the vibratory movement of the vibrator.

My invention consists in the novel const-ruction o'f the yhair clippers, and in the novel adaptation and combination of the same with a vibrator' as will be more clearly hereinafter described and claimed.

I accomplish this object by devices illus trated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure l is a view in side elevation of clippers constructed in accordance with my invention as said hairv clippers may appear when attached to a vibrator;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the hair clippers as they might appearwhen detached from the vibrator;

Fig. 3 is a detached view in front elevation ofthe hair clippers; and Fig. 4 is a view in cross-section on broken line 4, 4 of Fig. 2.

Referring to -the drawings throughout which like reference numerals indicate like parts, the numeral 5 designates an electric vibrator which is of a well known type and which is provided near its forward end with a shank 6 that is adapted to have a vibratory motion imparted thereto.

My invention resides in the provision of hair clippers that are adapted to be secured to the vibrator 5 and connected with the vibratory shank 6 in such manner that the vibrations of the shank 6 will impart the desired reciprocating motion to the hair clippers.

The hair clippers comprise a base portion or foot 7 that is provided on its' front edge 'with cutting teeth 8 of the form common to hair clippers and an upper reciprocable clipping member 10 that is disposed on Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 275,278.

the top side of the base portion 7 and is provided on its front edge with teeth 11 that are adapted to be moved, or reciprocated crosswise with respect to the teeth 8 in such manner that hair which enters between the teeth of the clipping member 10 and the teeth of the base member will be severed.

The clipping member 10 is provided with a notch or recess about midway its length for the reception of the square end 13 of a shank 14 that is adapted to screw into the shank 6 of the vibrator. f

The clipping member 10 is guided for reciprocation on the top of the base member 7 by two stud pins 15 that are rigid with the base member 7, and projectupwardly through slots 16 provided in the clipping member 10 as more clearly shrown in Fig. 4 and such clipping member l() is held in close contact with the base port-ion 7 by flat springs 17 that are placed on the studs 16 between nuts 18 and the top of the clipping member 10.

The pressure of the springs 17 may be varied by adjusting the-nuts 18.

The base member 7 is rigidly secured to a plate 20 which is rigidly secured to a split ring 21 that is adapted to encircle the body portion of the vibrator 5 and to be rigidly secured thereto by a bolt 22 that passes through upturned ends 23 that are formed at the upper side of the ring 21. The yplatel 20 and rings 21 thus constituting simple and easily detachable means by which the hair clippers are rigidly secured to the vibrator.

In the operation of my invention the motion of the vibrator shank 6 will reciprocate the upper plate 10 of the hair clippers with a stroke and'at a desired speed whereby hair may be cut without pulling the s ame.

Obviously changes may be made in the formI and arrangement oif parts of my inbrator comprising L toothed base member,'v

means for rigidly securing said base member to the body of a Vibrator, an upper toothed clipping member, means for guiding Said upper toothed vclipping member for reciprocation over said base member, resilient means for holding said upper toothed elippinfr member 1n Contact with said lower member and a shank ffor connecting said 15 upper clipping member to the vibratory shank of a vibrator.

ln Witness whereof, l hereunto subscribe my name this 29th day of January, A. D.

ANDREW NILAND.
